About Expeditions: Rome
Expeditions: Rome puts you in the shoes of a young Legatus whose father’s murder forces him to flee Rome and join a campaign against a Greek rebellion. Your decisions shape your legacy, the fate of your legion, and the future of the Republic.
The game blends turn‑based tactical battles with a story that travels from the coasts of Greece to the forests of Gaul. You can customize your Legatus, recruit companions, manage war‑camps, and influence Senate politics, all within a fully voiced, historically inspired narrative.
01 / THE GUIDE
Character Creation
Players begin by designing their Legatus, choosing appearance, gender, class, and skill set to suit personal role‑playing preferences. This initial setup determines how you approach combat and political choices throughout the game.
The customization options let you align your character with a playstyle, whether you favor brute force or diplomatic finesse, influencing interactions with companions and the Senate.
- Pick a class that matches your preferred combat approach early on.
- Consider how your skill choices will affect later political dialogue.

Turn‑Based Combat
Combat unfolds on a tactical grid where each unit’s weapons and abilities affect its battlefield effectiveness. The system emphasizes skill‑based actions, rewarding thoughtful positioning and weapon selection.
Because a character’s armament shapes how well they perform, players are encouraged to experiment with different load‑outs to adapt to varied enemy formations.
- Test different weapons to discover which boost your preferred tactics.
- Use terrain to gain advantage before committing attacks.
03 / THE GUIDE
Companion System
Five unique companions join your legion, each with distinct backstories and personalities. Their individual narratives unfold as you progress, adding depth to the political intrigue.
Companions can be leveled, gaining skills and passive abilities that broaden tactical options for the whole party.
- Invest in companion skills that complement your combat style.
- Listen to dialogue to uncover useful backstory clues.

World Exploration
The game’s world spans colorful environments, from Greece’s bright coasts to Gaul’s deep forests and Rome itself. Exploration reveals resources, side encounters, and narrative moments that affect your standing.
Traveling across these regions also unlocks opportunities to recruit legionaries and gather tactical items for later battles.
- Visit each region to locate hidden resources.
- Pay attention to environmental cues that hint at side events.
05 / THE GUIDE
War Campaign Management
Three extensive war campaigns—Greece, North Africa, and Gaul—require you to recruit legionaries, improve your war‑camp, and manage regional resources. Success in these campaigns determines territorial control.
Defending conquered areas and exploiting resources are key to maintaining a strong legion and achieving victory across the map.
